(Photo: Last Chance for Animals)[su_testimonial]The wheels of business and human food compulsions are implacable and totally lacking in compassion. This is a downed cow, badly hurt, but still being dragged to slaughter. With plentiful non-animal meat substitutes that fool the palate, there is no longer reason for this senseless suffering. Meat consumption is a serious ecoanimal crime. The tyranny of the palate must be broken. Please consider changing your habits in this regard.[/su_testimonial]

Unfortunately, the State is using fascist methods to achieve its goal. No government should be telling people what they can wear or purchase for wearing apparel. That is what a free market is for. Man has been wearing furs since the dawn of time and it was the fur trade that opened up the North American continent to European settlers. As little as 20 years ago, indigenous peoples who wanted to maintain their original lifestyle were trapping and selling fur pelts. Now they have been relegated to just thinking about their former relationship with nature. Fur trapping and business need not be cruel, at least, no more than the meat and leather industries. By stopping the fur trade, we have upset nature, because we have been actively involved with it from the dawn of time. All those wild animals that used to be trapped for their coats are now free to disturb nesting birds and rob their nests. I wouldn’t doubt that a number of the missing wildfowl in North America (3 billion or more) are those that were never born due to being eaten by mink and other forest predators while still in their shells. Before upsetting nature, homework should be done so you know what the results might be.
